Rating Bowling attack of teams in Super 12

12. Ireland- 3/10

The Irish side started off their campaign rather slowly in their face-off against Sri Lanka. The side could only manage to get one wicket under their belt in the fixture against the Lankan Lions and were beaten in just 15 overs, suffering a major loss even in terms of net run rate.

Furthermore, the Irish side were able to add little to no threat and could not make the best use of the tracks. However, in the subsequent matches against England, Australia, and New Zealand, the bowling unit gained boost as they felt more accustomed to the pitches. Their historic win against England that came due to the DLS method was the game when their bowling threatened the most.

However, at one stage in the tournament, the bowlers, especially Joshua Little and George Dockrell were economical for the side. Spinner Gareth Delany too was able to produce the slower balls and get a few wickets under his belt during the Super 12 stage while being economical. Adding to this, Little’s hat-trick against New Zealand was one for the highlight reel as the player knocked off three important batters in the Kiwis middle order. The left arm pacer was the only one from the side who consistently produced threat to the rival sides.
